Mr. J.W. Lovering,

Dear Sir Upon inquiring at the Treasurer's office as to the accuracy of the enclosed bill, they referred me to you. The amount seems to be so exorbitant, that I feel sure there must be a mistake. I have had tulips by [aceneths?] etc planted in my garden, which if anything is larger than the plots at Mt Auburn, the cost of which was only $6.00 the difference being so great I thought I should call your attention to it.

Truly yrs E.L. Henshaw
